Hi all, This being my first e-mail to the group, I thought I'd start off by saying 'Hello' and 'Thanks for Imagemagick' :)) I've googled a bit and searched through the Imagemagick e-mail archives, but not found anything I could use. I'm not even certain that what I want to do is possible. This said, I'll try to make my request for assistance as clear as possible. I know I'm showing my age, but if you recall the intro to The Brady Bunch tv show: http://youtube.com/watch?v=mkeGOH5vy7I This is what I'm trying to achieve. If I take four separate video streams of my children and create four separate collections of still images: A0001.jpeg to A1000 B0001.jpeg ... C0001.jpeg ... D0001.jpeg ... I know that I can use: montage *.jpeg -geometry +2+2 montage_geom.jpeg To create a two-by-two individual .jpeg of the four images (very neat - I know this is basic stuff, but when I found it I thought "How easy is that?") However, what I want to do is create a montage of four separate streams of jpegs, creating a related set of sequentially numbered composite images so that I can then rejoin the whole as one raw video file and come out with something similar to the Brady Bunch intro (an image in each quarter of the window is fine - it doesn't have to be a complex as the BB intro). If anyone is able to provide assistance with this, it would be most appreciated. Also, if there is a site which explains this or another forum, a redirection or URL, if available, would also be appreciated.. Many thanks to anyone who is able to provide assistance, advice or information and my apologies if I've overlooked something obvious. Regards, Patrick
